To all whom, it may concern: v

Be it known that I, LEMBERT W. CQPPOGK, a citizen of the United Statesof America, residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State ofMichigan, have invented certaihnew and useful Improvements in CoolingDevices for Internal-Combustion Engines; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will en-.

able others skilled in the art to which it t the movementof the machineand prefer-- appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to cooling devices .chine, and to provide thedevice with certain new and useful features: hereinafter more fullydescribed and particularly pointed out in the claims. 7

This invention is particularly adapted for light delivery vehicleswherethe most convenient location for the package box is at the forwardpart of the machine. This location notonly places the box in anaccessible place, but adds greatly to the general appearance of thevehicle giving it the .ef-

, feet of having a long engine hood and making possible a rakisligraceful design, which is,quite desirable. In this particular typeofvvehicle it is preferable to locate the engine back of the packagebox, where, in ordinary construction, it would be very difficult toobtain a suitable air circulation.

My invention. consists essentially of an air passage through the hingedlid ofthe package box, this passage being open at front and rear, andpermitting the air induced by ably-aidedbyacirculating fan'on the englueto pass therethrough and circulate around the engine and in variousfeatures of construction and arrangement, as will,

'more fully a pear byreference-to the accompanyingv awings in Which:

hide-embodying my invention; Fig. 2' is a front elevation of the same;Fig.3 is a sectional elevation ofjthe forwardart of the vehicle; Fig. 4is a front view owing the package box removed and a false hood substituted in its place; and Fig. 5 is atrans- Figure 1' 1s aside-elevationof a motor ve-' verse sectional elevation on the line 5-5of Fig. 3. Like numbers refer to like parts in all of the figures.

1 is the frame of the machine having a -motor 2 supported therein,approximately midway between the front and rear ends thereof. The motoris covered by a hood or apron 3 under which are also located the oil andgasolene tanks 4 and 5 and in the. side of which is provided a door 6having a wire mesh panel which permits the free escapeof airtherethrough. This door is also for the purposeof inspecting andadjusting,the engine.- Immediately in front of the engine'and at theforward termination of the hood 3 is a. wire mesh partition 7, andextending forward from this partition is a floor 8 supported by theframe of themachine. Upon said floor a package box 9 is. located anddetachably fastened in place. This package bo'x preferably consists offour rectangular. walls .formedof sheet metal, the floor 8 forming thebottom of the box and the height of the walls lee-- ing somewhat lessthan the height of the wire partition 7 thus leaving a space above therear wall of the box and the top of the hood 3. The lid 10 ofthe, box ispreferably divided longitudinally into two sectio-ns which are hingedtogether and adapted. to be folded u ward, and each section .is formedprefera ly of two metallic walls spaced apart and open at the ends,leaving a passage therethrough, communicating at the rear with the spacebeneath the hood and at the front'with the open air. It is =obvious thatthis arrangement permits the air to pass freely into the forward openend of'this passage and out of the rear end thereof through the wiremesh} partition and around the air cooled m tor as indicated-"by thearrows in Fig. 3. his air circulation may also be aided by a fan- 11near the motor and rotated thereby. After. circulating around the motorthe air may either pass outward through the wire mesh in the doors 6, orbackward. under the body of the car,

lids 10, are removable, the box being a2:-

.tached to the floor by. any convenient form of fastening, such as turnbuckles 12, and

a false hood 13 may be substituted in its place if preferred. This hoodmay be of any desirable shape, but its rear end adjacent the wire meshpartition 7, must be smaller than said partition to expose suifi cientthereof to permit the air .,to pass through the same and circulatearound the engine. This hood is shown attached in Fig. 4 and isindicated by broken lines in Fig. 1. v

Vhat I claim is 1. A motor vehicle, comprising a frame,
